XML Code for Sample Scene:
Updates when you change values.


Remarks:
Test the cursor on different background shown above. The element allows you to define a custom cursor with hexidecimal values that define your cursor.

Note: Custom cursors are not recommended for content to be viewed across platforms. Mac OS requires 16 x 16 pixel cursors and Windows requires monochrome (1 bit) 32 x 32 pixel cursors for use with VMP.

To create a custom cursor, use a utility to create a .cur file, and then you can use a Viewpoint cursor convertor utilities. (Click here to get the converter.)

Drag the new cursor (.cur file) over the icon for the convertor. The converter creates an .mtx file with the same name as the custom cursor. The .mtx file contains the entire MTSCursor element you need for calling the cursor through an interactor. The example code above shows a complete interactor.
